4 Claims.

My invention relates to improvements in gloves and more particularly to workmens gloves.

. It is one of the ob vide a glove which jects of my invention to promay be readily and cheaply accompanying drawings, in

which Fig. 1 is a rear elevation of a glove embodying my invention;

Fig. 2 is a front elevation thereof; Fig. 3 is an elevation of the blank for the back of the thumb;

Fig. 4 is an elevation of the blank for the back of the little finger;

Fig. 5 is an elevation of the blank for the backs of the middle fingers;

Fig. 6 is an elevation of the blank of the palm including the back of the index finger;

Fig. '7 is an elevation of ing for the palm;

the blank of the lin- Fig. 8 is an elevation of the blank of the lining for the back of the glove; and

Fig. 9 is an elevation of the knuckle blank.

In carrying referring to Fig. 6, that along the lines 2,

of the glove is slit out my invention it will be noted,

the blank 1 of the palm 3 and 4 to provide the fronts of the little finger 5, the two middle fingers 6 and '7 and the index finger 8.

That portion of the ger is also cut as at 9 outer edge 10 which on the dotted line 11 forms index finger. This given an inward sweeping curve 13.

the blank is slit on the line 14 to the above slits blank forming the index finand provided with the curved when the material is folded the back 12 of the portion of the blank is also In addition to provide the inside portion 15 of the thumb.

An extension 16 is reinforcement below the line also provided which forms a of the gauntlet.

The blank 17 for the outside of the thumb is cut as indicated at Fig.

3 and the blank 18 for the back of the little finger is cut asillustrated in Fig. 4 having a narrowed extension 19 at its lower end.

The blank for the backs is cut with two diverging portions 20 and at their centers are cut out to form an 22, the walls of this opening forming V fingers 21 and opening of the two middle shaped notches 23 and 24 in the backs of the respective blanks As illustrated of the fingers.

in Figs. '7 and 8 the liner blanks for the glove are cut, for the palm, as at 25 and for the back as at the finger portions 2 26. In assembling the glove 0 and 21 are sewed to the finger portions 6 and 7, with the seams well to the front so that there is no seam directly between the fingers and due to the notched opening 22 and the V shaped cuts 23 and 24, when this blank is stitched into' position, it will be noted that a scalloped edge 2'7 is formed. The thumb blank 17 is stitched to the thumb 15 the blank 15 being turned up and the little finger blank is stitched to the finger portion 5 of the palm of the glove, the stitching in this instance being well toward the front and the extension 19 forming a protection down along the side edge of the glove. The portion 12, as has heretofore been described, is folded and the edge 10 stitched to the free end of the slit 4 forming the index finger with the extension 13 forming a projection down along the side of the glove and into the thumb. A knuckle blank 28 having its upper edge scalloped to coincide with the scallops of the backs of the fingers is stitched between the index finger back and the little finger back and likewise stitched along the scalloped edge. The material between the bottom of this blank and gauntlet 29 may be formed of fabric stitched along the lower edge of the knuckle blank or, if desired, the blank may be extended to the gauntlet cuff to form an all leather glove. The gauntlet 29 may be formed of stiffened cloth material and the glove is preferabl lined with the liners 25 and 26, the liner 26 being merely secured in position along its edges 8 and at its bottom edge to the gauntlet and the liner 25 having the tips of its fingers stitched and secured at its bottom edge to the gauntlet.

I claim the following:

1. A glove having V shaped notches in the bottom edges of the backs of the fingers, a back piece secured to saidfingers, and a knuckle protecting .strip overlying said back piece and secured at its side edges to the side edges of the index and little fingers and having V shaped projections on its top edge stitched to the bottom edges of the backs of the fingers.

2. A glove comprising a palm-piece formed with finger-front projections, a finger-back-forming piece provided with a serrated lower edge, said last-mentioned piece being sewn to a plurality of said projections, a knuckle band having a serrated upper edge mating with and sewn tosaid serrated lower edge, the serrated edge of said knuckle band lapping the serrated edge of said finger-back-forming piece, but terminating short of the crotches between the finger pieces, and a back piece sewn to said knuckle band.

3. A glove comprising a palm piece provided with projections forming fronts for little finger,

intermediate finger, and index finger portions, and further provided with portions forming a thumb front piece and an index finger back piece, a separate little finger back piece sewn to said palm piece little finger projection, a piece providing two portions forming backs for said palm piece intermediate finger projections and sewn thereto, said last-mentioned piece presenting, when so sewn, a serrated lower edge, a knuckle band having a serrated upper edge mating with and underlying and sewn to said serrated lower edge and further sewn to said separate little finger piece and to said palm piece index finger back piece, and a back element sewn to said knuckle band to said palm piece.
